Current Consultations

Providing representation for the County's third sector organisations at local, regional and national level.

Local groups are positively encouraged to attend our network meetings, and through these networks, knowledge sharing on a range of topics and issues, as well as joint responses to local and national consultations.

This web page will list the latest/current documents and public consultations, and we hope that as many groups from the local sector will respond. You can do this by either following the guidance in the consultation documents and feedback comments direct to the organisation or via BAVO, who will also provide coordinated responses from the sector wherever appropriate

Housing Benefit Reform – Supported Housing – public consultation

This consultation seeks views on the Government’s proposals to change the way Housing Benefit helps those living in supported housing within the social and voluntary sector with their rent. Seeking views to inform policy development to look to re-design the way in which Housing Benefit helps with the higher rents sometimes faced by those needing support to live independently, such as the elderly or those with disabilities. The public consultation applies to England, Scotland and Wales.

The consultation is aimed primarily at those involved in the commissioning, funding and providing of supported housing. We also welcome comments from those needing support to live independently, such as vulnerable older and disabled people, and those who represent their views.
